    Problem getting into chat room
    When I try to go into the chatrooma message come up saying, no connection, you might want to check your firewall settings. Well I did but I don't fully understand what to do. Does anyone know what program I should open up on my firewall to let me into the chatroom. I kind of new on the computer and don't have a full uderstanding of it. Any help would be appreciated.

    hey...
    I just fixed my own kitchen sink, so I'm very proud, but chatrooms are beyond me. I don't know what all the relevant constraints are, but when the software, as contrasted to the people, is misbehaving to this extent it needs a timeout.

    Good Idea
    TY Buddy...I just wish that "assertiveness training" worked with my wife. Probably better it doesn't, she's a lot smarter than me. Your idea of an outside consultant sounds good if the budget permits, but maybe it doesn't. Or maybe the person in charge has an "I KNOW I can figure this out if only..." mindset. I can't can't count the number of lawnmowers, toasters, etc. that have fallen by the wayside when I get in that frame of mind. Just guessing...

    chatroom down
    since it is clearly causing more trouble to leave it up in its buggy state than to take it down, we have taken the chatroom down until we can figure out what's up and fix it. Thank you.

    What Central Station NJ Steve said
    That was very polite and eloquent, my man. You must have at some point had assertiveness training. I thank you for what you said, and the way you said it. I too wish for the chat feature to be fixed. I wonder if they have given any thought to bringing in an outside consultant?

    over three weeks now
    I've been using the chat room for a bit over three weeks now. I don't mean to sound impatient, but the way the room boots people out regularly seems to be getting even worse. I realize people are working to try to fix the problem, but whatever's being done just isn't cutting the mustard. I also know there are people in this community who would be willing to help, but from what I understand their offers and/or advice have gone unheeded. Please get someone involved who knows what they're doing. This is very discouraging.

    good morning folks
    Brilliant, Mr. P... Stuman, if you're still reading this, I echo what others have said, that you've added a lot here and it would be a drag to lose you. So if you must go away, I hope it's only for a short time. As a grizzled veteran of online conferencing, I know darn well that when you hit the wall you hit the wall, and I've bailed on more than one place over the years because I Could Not Take One More Minute Of This. So do what you gotta do, but come back to us when you can. Back in the distant past, we noted that there are now zillions of Dead-related online spots, such that no single human can possibly keep up with them all. I don't even have time to keep up with the ones I WANT to keep up with. They have a lot of different cultures and a lot of different styles to suit the different people who gravitate there, and that's good. People from a lot of those different worlds converge here, which is also good, and yeah, there are going to be different expectations of the way things should work, and it's never going to be just exactly perfect from anyone's standpoint. So, we're feeling our way and trying to be as hospitable as possible to Heads of various ages, locations, and points of view, rather than start with a big fat book of rules up front. And yeah, sometimes the software's buggy, and we're sorry about that, and it IS getting worked on.

    Feel free to sing along. I'm sure y'all know the tune Logged in today, clicked on the chat room link the text was all red from my friends at play then they were gone, booted again for misbehavin' and they might not be there when it's back again but it's all right, we still try it even if it seems deranged kick us out, make us type stuff again and again but still we keep returning 'cause we're undaunted by the constant pain and need our place to have our little bouts with the insane were you ever in the middle of a conversation with your friends only to see your browser page go blank Well you know, we're only trying to have fun and it's a real bummer when the chat goes in the tank [insert soaring Jer here...] we only wnat to babble, we don't want to bring you down or consume all the resources of your server rack It's just that My, we've gotten used to having it around and when it went away we asked to have it back but it's all right, we still try it even if it seems deranged kick us out, make us type stuff again and again but still we keep returning 'cause we're undaunted by the constant pain and need our place to have our little bouts with the insane Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

those of you who mailed in for tickets: did you have any 3x5 index cards lying around? I believe the last time i used index cards was 1995 for the last GD tour. Anyway, I went out to buy some, and they were displayed next to the carbon paper, naturally. Regardless, I hope I get tix and wish I could find out what happens if we don't, regarding the M.O.s sent.

I've tried a couple of times to upload artwork on the 50th anniversary audio submissions section and it gives me the following error: The uploaded file was unable to be saved. The destination directory does not exist. Thoughts? Mike

http://www.dead.net/show/july-4-1987 & Bob Dylan I know the setlist mentions his last name as having helped with the sound check, as well as his singular voice when he starts singing, but I think that “Guest Vocalist” or “Guest Appearance”, or some such statement at the first of the “Notes” section would be much more helpful than making us deduce for ourselves his presence. Not to mention the absolute absence of his first name. We wouldn't want anyone to assume y'all are trying to make us believe Dylan Ryder sat in with The band (Dylan Thomas (though I guess he could have 'attended' had his casket been exhumed)). Sorry. The places my mind goes...

Been digging through Archive.org and saw a show I remember from the good ol' days of cassettes. October 10, 1982 Frost Amphitheatre show. A lot of good songs on there well performed. Might make for a good official release from Dave?
To that end, how about more shows from the 1980s. Love the 70s picks, but I cut my teeth on mid to late 80s dead and would love to hear some crispy 1980s shows...

Just throwin' it out there!
